I used to love the Artemis Fowl books! What a great way to expand that universe and keep it going. I am always a little wary that these types of projects are just to keep the cash flowing, but I remained optimistic about this one! It paid off - this is a clever spin-off from the original series. The Fowl twin characters are well developed. The dialogue is witty and unique.

My one hesitation to fully recommending this is that I don't think I would have liked it if I hadn't already read the Artemis Fowl series. I somehow get the impression that this is meant for younger readers than the original series, and yet it definitely won't be as enjoyable reading it first. It's a bit out of order.
